House of the Week: $6 million for a Casa Loma car lover’s dream

House of the Week: $6 million for a Casa Loma car lover’s dream

ADDRESS: 64 Forest Hill Road

NEIGHBOURHOOD:  Casa Loma

AGENT: Jordan Grosman and Steven N. Wagman, Forest Hill Real Estate Inc., Brokerage

PRICE: $5,995,000

THE PLACE: From the outside, this Casa Loma mansion blends in with the traditional architecture of the neighbourhood, but the contemporary interiors look like something straight out of Dwell magazine: a stark black and white kitchen is warmed up by mocha-coloured hardwood floors; the marble-walled washroom is clean-lined and sumptuous.

BRAGGING RIGHTS: A five-car underground garage and heated two-car driveway is sweet candy to any automobile lover or aspiring Jay Leno impersonator—stale jokes not included.

BIG SELLING POINT: This home is made for entertaining. The expansive kitchen opens onto to a luxurious backyard, equipped with an infinity-edge swimming pool and built-in barbecue. It’s an idyllic getaway spot for summer, no drive to Muskoka necessary.

POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: Antique furniture would likely look as out of place in these minimal rooms as Michael Ignatieff on the campaign trail.  But don’t worry, there’s plenty of room in the garage to store your late great-aunt Irma’s Victorian settee.

BY THE NUMBERS:

• 6 bathrooms
• 5-car underground garage
• 4 bedrooms
• 4-level elevator
• 2 laundry rooms
• 1 heated driveway
• 1 infinity pool
• 1 massive walk-in closet

  1. I take it all in place is for show of the home? No body lives there and where are the pictures of the garage.

  2. it is good thing they have all that room to store a backpack and a pair of rubber boots.

  3. For such a modern house, the pool liner should have been dark or black (IMO)

  4. Casa Loma “car lover’s dream” – but we’re not going to let you see the garage. Great sell!!

    Oh and WTF’s up with the marble bathroom?!? Yikes!

  5. I can appreciate the design but 6 mil in Toronto with no expansive garden or cherub statues – phfft !

  6. One of the best of the series, but that marble bathroom is ugly. It looks like gorgonzola.

  7. This would be like living in a “W” hotel. Or maybe a Bay Street law firm lobby.
